The Threshing Barn

Holiday Rental Description

A stunning 1 bedroom 16th Century Grade II listed thatched barn conversion, peacefully nestled in the North Devon countryside on a small Devon farm. Just 30 mins drive will bring you to the seaside town of Bude on the North Cornwall coast, with its array of shops, restaurants and not forgetting its wonderful sandy beaches, ideal for those who enjoy a bit of surfing or body boarding. To the South you can enjoy the stunning scenery of Dartmoor, either on horse back or walking, and visit the many little villages and towns along the way, there are plenty of good pubs en route too. Guests are welcome to explore the 48 acre farm which has stunning views over towards Dartmoor. The farm is recognised as a Devon County Wildlife Site because of the wide range of wildlife, flora and fauna which can be found here and its important culm grassland habitats. There are also amazing dark starry skies which can be enjoyed. There are lots of animals ready to greet you - Donkeys, goat, cow, sheep, chickens, ducks, George the goose, and Merlin the springer spaniel. Lovely freshly laid eggs every morning!
